That yo^ pefs having been informed y tiiere has lately been made an order by this Board relating to the Ministers of ye Dutch reformed Churches of said Kings County, w^ tends much to y« prejudice of Domine Bernardus Freeman minister of y<-' said Churches of Flatbush & Brookland (of a\c1i said Churches the said Domine Freeman has for soinetime past been in fiijl peaceiiblc possession) & to y^ disquiet & injury of yo^" peti"» k yt ye gd order was made without any notice given to y*^ said Domine Freeman or any other on his behalf whereby they miglit have be^sn heard before y« passing said order.

Now forasmuch as y^ s^ ord"" doth very much alter tlie Regulation lately made by his Hon"" Col. Ingoldesby late Liev' OoV touching ye s^ Clmrches.

Yo«" pet" humbl}- pray ye matters concerning y° s<^ Churches may continue as tliey were upon the Regulation above mentioned imtill ye arrivall of Col. Robert Hunter wlio is daily expected as Gov of this Province.

And yo^* pefs &c.
